Forbort having a tough night so far.

Horrible play by Forbort.

Gotta find Rocco some linemates to play with.

That was the "good" Joe.

He didn't say that...but he keeps it simple and doesn't let guys camp out in front of our net.

I thought Easy Mac between Rocco and Drake was a possibility.

And some protection physically for those 2.

Like the RPM line back together. Thought Hak might find someone with more speed to center Rocco and Drake...especially on big ice. 4th line is going to play well IMO. Clark has to keep a ZERO on the board for at least the 1st 10 minutes...has to play better tonight than last 2 starts.

As usual Berger is more than likely spot on. In one of these games the stripes will totally determine the outcome and even money is on the team that takes dives and plays soft. No other clues needed

Fixed your post. You're welcome in advance.

Presumably with a bike helmet and bib on to boot.

I have family coming from Missouri for the WI series...can I have your tickets??? I live in Fargo too so it will be easy to get them to me.

There is no doubt IMO if these games stay 5x5 that favors UND, but in a big televised series like this the stripes like to get their face time

4th vs. 23rd is a big disparity as is 11th vs. 26th (Krach).

Look at the man himself...and I use the term "man" loosely.

Stats are relative only vs. the competition and scheduled played to date. No way UM has the same stats offensively or defensively if they played the same schedule that UND has to date. Now with that being said UM is currently playing as well as anyone in the country.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves because as it is the case in most highly emotional series goaltending and special teams play will decide these games.

What does that say for your squad?? UND's depth at forward is overall better than UM.

And that has what to do with Clark's last 2 starts??? He is our #1 goalie. He needs to play better than his last 2 outings to give this team a chance. Not too complicated.

I'm with you on these combo's with exception of Jim on 4th line. Gaarder has to play Friday IMO. O'Donnell might be a spectator for awhile.

Wouldn't say he was real sharp his last two starts vs HC and CC. There was a reason he sat Saturday

Clark has to come out of his mini funk starting Friday.

"get back to"...when did this ever start this season???

And that was on one good wheel, but UND can't play race horse hockey and have a chance. They need to dump pucks deep, grind and wear down UM Dman. Kristo will be one of the 3 best players both nights. Rocco will be one in one of those games as well...split.

He is 5'2" with skates on and faster than any of your Dmen...good luck with that one. I expect a big weekend from Rocco. He looked ok Friday vs. CC, but looked drained Saturday. He has another gear that he'll use on the big ice.
